Provenance
With J&B Antiques, Covent Garden
Graham Slater Collection

A plate from the Willett Collection, painted in this distinctive style and signed 'Bowen Fecit' was lost in the Alexandra Palace fire of 1873 and subsequently the name of Bowen is forever linked to a manner of painting with European landscapes and sponged trees. Frank Britton illustrates a smaller version of the present, perhaps a teapot stand, see English Delftware in the Bristol Collection (1982), figs 18.25. A pair of salvers attributed to the Redcliff Back Pottery of Richard Frank were exhibited by Sampson & Horne, 2009, cat.09/13.
